OXIDATIVE REGENERATION OF A RHODIUM-PHOSPHINE CATALYST FOR OLEFIN HYDROFORMYLATION
An investigation has been made of the oxidative regeneration of a deactivated rhodium-triphenylphosphine catalyst for the hydroformylation of olefins by atmospheric oxygen. It has been established that the use of ozonization, ultrasound and accelerated electron beam irradiation intensifies the regeneration of the deactivated catalyst considerably.
